People love to quote Mike Graham talking about how Jeff Jarrett "broke 5000 guitars and never drew a dime" but Mike Graham needs to look in the mirror. He couldn't draw flies to shit in the Florida territory even with his daddy booking.

It's a great quote and while he didn't draw dimes neither did anybody else in the territories. There is a reason that way of business died off and Vince has a monopoly on the game.

This whiny asshole is the main reason WWE almost went under. The OG vanilla midget. Still to this day shivers at the sight of a dime and cries and curses hulksters name.

Had a better run than HBK/Diesel. 95/96 were worse years for the WWE than 93 and 94, and Hart sold more WMs. Wrestling as a whole was hitting a low in the early to mid 90s, it wasn't until the nWo and Austin/McMahon angles that it had another boom.

I haven't been watching for the last year or so, but I remember Roman Reigns being a flop once he won the title. He was able to draw with The Sheild, but not so much as a singles wrestler. Like I said I've been out of the loop since he first held the WWE championship, so I could be wrong here.
